Well guys, sorry to keep you waiting on a new blog but some crazy stuff has been happening lately. Sunday, April 20th, my grandmother passed away and I had to make an emergency trip up to Pennsylvania. Despite my loss I am at peace. My grandmother was a born again Christian woman who loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. At the end I was comforted to know that the pastor of a nearby church, one my grandmother had never even gone to, had started visiting her. He had read her scriptures up until the moment she died. My grandmother loved her God! I am sad that she's gone, but I wouldn't wish her back for the world. After-all, she's enjoying heaven, how could I be so selfish to want her here? -Hannah
I accepted Jesus Christ as my personal Lord and savior at the young age of 6 years old as my mom taught me the Bible story of Adam and Eve (Genesis 3) as they, because of their sin, were separated from God forever. Growing up in church I grew in both in knowledge, understanding, and love for my Lord God. Sadly at the age of 18 though, I started slipping away. When I was put on a medication for severe acne I allowed the selfishness of depression overwhelm me in that very dark portion of my life. Then one night in the darkness of it all I lay on my bed and wanted to die. I cried out to God, saying: "God... I can't do this anymore!" and like a wake up call I felt God say, "Of course you can't... but I AM... I can!" God used the lowest point in my life to turn me around, get me back on my feet, and gave me the courage to start anew. Love inhabited me that night, and that love can only come from one place, JESUS. <3 Hannah
Well today in Biology we learned about evolution vs. intelligent design. Now being the creationist I am I've ALWAYS had to sit through these lectures, learn what they are teaching for the test, then move on. But today was a little different. Today I actually felt like I was under fire for what I believed in. Persecution is a curious thing, you never know how you're going to react to it until it comes your way. Me, I chose to cry... I kinda felt a little dumb but it was REALLY hard being one of the only people in there who stood for what they believed. And what did I believe in? I believe that we are fearfully and wonderfully MADE, not EVOLVED... not an ACCIDENT... we were MADE by the very hand and breath of God himself the creator and Father of all.
